IN The RAILWAY WORLD.
Test of Westinghouse Brakes on Long
Freight Trains.
THE TRIAL SATISFACTORY
The Wisconsin GentraPs Chicago Ter
minus---Grafion's New Road
Railway Notes.

New YORK, Nov. GA special train
yesterday took about 800 gentlemen to
RidgefieId Park. n. j., on the West
Shore railroad, where number of tests
were made by the Westinghouse Air
Brake company of the new application
of its system of braking to long freight
trains. The air brake has been used
very successfully On freight trains Of
not more than twenty-five cars, but it
was found that when this number was
exceeded the humping of the rear cars,
which had not yet been stopped, against
the cars in front was so serious as to set
a limit to the systems utility as far as
freight trains was concerned, and II was
to demonstrate that he had practically
annihilated this and made the air
brakes advantages available on long
freight trains that Mr.. Westinghouse
took the visitors yesterday out for trip
on the West Shore road. A freight
train 1900 feet long and weighing 2,000,
600 pounds, drawn by a mighty engine
of the Chicago, Burlington d Quincy
road. was used in the experiments. An
emergency stop with the freight train
running twenty miles an hour was the
first test. The brake was applied and
in twelve and quarter seconds the
train was at a standstill, having run
less than 200 feet. The next test was
made with similar conditions, except
that the train was run at speed of
fOrty-one miles an hour. This time
the train stopped in twenty sec
Onds, and at a distance of 67415
feet. The third test was of the rapid
ity with which the brakes were applied,
the train standing still so that Obser-
fnIl hn al
between the enging whistle, which an
nOunced the application of the power,
and the sound of the moving brakes at
various distances along the train. The
cars numbered i'll order from front to
rear of the train, and to persons who
stood opposite car No. 81 the two sounds
described were synchrOnOuS. A high
pressure test, with the train running
twenty-five miles an hour, resulted in
its being pulled up in six seconds, nine
ty-one feet from the stopping post.
The last test, was Spectacularly, the
best of the afternoon. 1t was intended
to show the relative stopping power of
the old brakes, as used on twelve-cOach
passenger trains and the new brakes on
twenty-car freight train. Down the
tracks, chimney and chimney, came the
two trains. FOrty-fve miles an hour
was the speed at which the trains were
going as they neared the stopping-pOst,
and the freight train there was only
about three feet in front as they passed
it. The brakes on both were applied
simultaneously but the new brake dis
tanced the old one, the freight train
stopping in 49, seconds, at distance
of 495 feet, while the passenger train
went on travelling until its engine was
1904 feet from the point where the
brakes were set.

He May Die.

NEW YORK, Nov. ga Wilkesbarre
special says: Jack Gilmore and Ed
DennisOn, miners, fought a desperate
prize fight at Luzerne Borough, a min
ing village, Sunday. The fight lasted
one hour and ten minutes, and forty
four rounds were passed. When the
fOrty-fifth round was called, Constable
McHenry broke into the ring and de-
clared the men under arrest. Both
men were terribly punished. While the
fight was i'll progress a dog owned by
Dennison. which viewed the battle
from between the legs of the bystand-
ers, broke through the ropes, and, on
seeing its master knocked to the ground,
bit Gilmore i'll the face. The dog re-
fused to let go, and his jaws had to be
pried open by an iron bar. 1t is said
that the men quarrelled over a girl, the
daughter of a mining boss. 1t was
thought that Gilmore would knock his
antagonist out without any difficulty, as
he has the reputation of being the
champion of Luzerne county. When
Peter Mccoy visited this city, Gilmore
stood up before him three rounds.
Dennison had no experience as a fighter,
but is a powerfully built man. Den
nisOn was carted off to coal breaker,
where he was left without care :and at
tentiOn, and a physician called to attend
him last evening says he may die.

BosToN, Nov. 22.-Eariy this morn
ing George Ryder, of Brookline, Mass,
and slippery Breen, of Chicago,
fought with bare knuckleS, twenty
five round fight in the regulation
twenty-five foot ring in hall in this
city. The referee stopped the fight at
the end of the twenty-fifth round on ac-
count of the interference of the Specta-
tors. Both sides were claiming foul.
The fighting was savage, and first one
man would have the better of it and
then the other. When the twentieth
round was finished both men were coy
cred with blood. and after that the mill
was tame.
Later in the dav the fight was re
newed, and was protracted to thirty-One
rounds. In this part of the mill Ryder
had all the best of it. Breen'S eyes were
about closed. He got in an occasional
blow. but was severely punished IN re-
turn, and was finally knocked out in the

Is This Strictly True?

Sporting News.
President Won der Abe was shown
Holidays statement. and said: 1T is
incorrect. In the first place he gave me
his terms in the regular way, after the
regular date, and | notified him that |
accepted them. But setting all that
aside. his contract with the DeS MoineS
team is not worth the paper it is writ
ten OH, for the reason that the new
Western league was not given pr0tec-
ton by the national agreement until
after Oct. -. Holidays contract with
Des Moines. as he himself says. was
signed on Oct. 20. or a full week before
tile new Western league was granted
protection" Taking the above fact into
consideration. together with the fact
that Holidays contract with ST. Louis
has been approved by all the secretaries
of as OciatiOns party to the national
agreement. and it is very easy to be

DAN NEEDHANI's BENEFIT.

A Big Aggregation of Sporting
Talent Gives an Exhibition Be-
fore a Good Audience.
Danny Needham had a benefit that
was a benefit at Market hall last night.
Over seven hundred tickets were sold
and the entertainment was fully appre
ciated by people who paid dollar for
their seats. A number of the best
known pugiIists of the country, among
them Pat Killen. Patsy O'Leary, Johnny
Clark, Jimmy COnnOrs and Harry Gil
more. appeared in Sparring eXhi-
billions. Ed. Hilton acted as mas
ter of ceremonies. and of course
everything went smoothly. There were
nine matches Oh the programme. The
little MagUhn Brothers. bantam
weights, started the amusement with
three rounds of boxing. Charley Weber
and Morris Self, light-weightS of St.
Paul, boxed three rounds with Joe
Hayelick. Phil McHugh, of Cincinnati.
and Fred Engel. of Minneapolis, had
lively three-rOund Set-to. Barney Smith
tackled Harry Halating, of Milwaukee,
champion wrestler of Wisconsin, for
two bouts of wrestling, cOllar-and-elbow
hold. Halating won the first fall in
three minutes and Smith won the
quarters. Harry Gilmore, of Toronto,
SPARED three rounds with Tom Gal
laheT, of Minneapolis. and gave a good
exhibition of his skill. Jimmy ConnorS.
feather-weight, of Philadelphia, and
George SiddOnS, of Illinois, also boxed
three rounds. When Patsy O'Leary
came out to box with Johnny Clark, the
Philadelphia lightweight, the audience
showed their appreciation of the little
Cincinnati fighter by hearty applause.
O'Leary was stripped to the waist, with
green tights and brown stockings, and
showed to great advantage. 1t was his
first appearance in St. Paul, and he won
good opinions on all sides. His action
is quick, and he has a good reach for a
small man. He is well muscled, built
like a model and very lively
on his feet. Clark and O'Leary boxed
three rounds, and the entertainment
concluded with three rounds between
Pat Killen and Danny Needham. Both
men were heartily received.
NOTES.

getting in great condition for his fight

When KilIen walked into the hall he
was loudly applauded. So was OLeary.
Harry Gilmore is open to fight any
126-pOund man living.
Needham's broken hand is entirely
well.
